You’re asking for a different post. More like a science paper where they say the result up front.
This blog post is like a story. It doesn’t start with the ending.
I read your comment first, expecting to go to the article and see a bunch of undefined math terms, but that isn’t what happened at all.
Of course you need to know what a heuristic function is, so maybe you’re right in that sense. You absolutely do not need to know anything about landmarks to enjoy the post. I didn’t, and it was no trouble at all to follow.
Perhaps you found the “discovery” method of presentation not to your liking. Discovery means there’s a demo where you move the L around before its purpose is defined. Building an intuitive understanding before producing a rigorous definition is (now) considered a good teaching method.
